This growing collection of restaurants, tour outfits and quirkier-than-average gift shops is fun; don't miss Log Cabin Gifts, Whittier's best stab at adorable. The knickknacks, including lots of high-quality leatherwork, are handmade by owner Brenda Tolman, but the reindeer outside - Elizabeth and Violet, the day we were there - are the real crowd pleasers. If it's wet out, though, you won't see them. Apparently, they don't like rain - which makes it tough to live in Whittier.
